Florida’s First District Court of Appeal struck down a seven-figure attorney fee award based on a proposal for settlement the judges characterized as “cash on the barrelhead.”
Anthony J. Russo Jr., a trial lawyer based in Delray Beach, is not involved in the case in which State Farm Insurance Co. convinced First DCA Judges Bradford Thomas and M. Kemmerly Thomas to reverse the attorney fees award by arguing that opposing counsel failed to make a settlement offer in good faith.
